Article About Resona Holdings

The picture in the article Resona_Holdings#Group_companies shows three pictures of which the upper one is not associated with Resona. The picture called "Resona Holdings headquarters in Koto, Tokyo, Japan" is not Resona's location. Resona is located in a nearby Building few meters away. You may check this on Resona's homepage: http://www.resona-gr.co.jp/holdings/english/about/outline/office.html

You need to work this out on the article's talk page. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:05, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I just created a page and would like to put it into draft mode because I dont know it if is ready for wikipedia before it gets deleted. Is there a way i can do this and if so how ? Thank you for your valued time. --NewRoyalty (talk) 18:23, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Moving a page. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:25, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

You got your answer here, but this is the sort of question that can be answered at the Help Desk or the Teahouse, which are for questions about Wikipedia. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:47, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Requests for past medical records

I am currently on Klonopin and Adderall and have been for 2 years. I recently moved and have had to see a new psychiatric provider. This new psychiatrist is demanding that I sign a release of information for him to speak with, and obtain records from, my previous provider if he is to continue prescribing those medications, but otherwise does not object to prescribing them. I do not want to release these records, and I am wondering if this is typical (for a psychiatrist to refuse to prescribe medications without speaking with and reviewing the records of the previous provider). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.244.19.161 (talk) 20:16, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

I would think any doctor would want to see a given patient's history on any medical matter. As to whether he can compel you to do so, that's a legal question and we can't answer it, first because we're not allowed to, and second because any laws relating to this subject could be specific to your region. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 20:55, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

He isn't "compelling" the handover of medical records, just saying he would require them to continue the prescriptions as is. Presumably otherwise the patient would need a new diagnosis to justify those prescriptions. StuRat (talk) 20:54, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

If the doctor won't do anything without the records, then he's compelling the OP to provide the records if the OP wants treatment. If he doesn't want treatment from that doctor, then that's that. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 18:37, 1 August 2015 (UTC)

Since medical professionals don't (or aren't supposed to) prescribe medication to anyone who walks in an asks for it (especially substances with a high potential for abuse like Adderall), in order to prescribe without going through typical diagnostic processes, they would need verification from whoever performed the diagnosis and determined these two medicines are most appropriate. After all, there's no way for them to tell someone like yourself who has been taking medication and simply wants to continue it from someone malingering or otherwise being dishonest. Laws about medical privacy vary depending on where you are. If you're in the US, take a look through the Department of Health and Human Services page about sharing information related to mental health. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 23:02, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
